I need to side load an ATV on a trailer from the rear. I've seen lots of videos of people doing it stupid ways, such as spinning the tires, brute forcing it, etc, not interested in that.

My idea is to use one of those jacks, lift it up and turn it. But I can't find a jack that has casters where all 4 wheels turn, or even a jack that has something larger than the tiny little wheels.

Anyone have any suggestions? I found a jack on Alibaba, but you have to order 10 :( and I can't find that jack anywhere else.

I could lift it up on to castors, but trying to minimize the amount of junk I need to carry and deal with.

Appreciate any ideas.

When it comes to heavyweight Utility UTVs, the 2017 Can-Am Defender HD10 XT and Polaris Ranger XP 1000 EPS are at the top of the food chain.

If you are in the market for a powerful UTV that will not only work hard but that can be trail ridden with kid gloves, than you have come to the right place. Our big brute test between the 2017 Can-Am Defender HD10 XT and Polaris Ranger XP 1000 EPS was quite possibly the high-power highlight of our adventures in the mountains of northern Georgia. These two machines are not only capable of towing many pounds of work gear and material, but they both have the grunt from some of the best engine designs in our industry.

Innovation is a word that gets thrown around in the engineering office at both Can-Am and Polaris. In 2017 with the stakes getting higher for market share and wow factors becoming increasingly demanded by you the consumer, we can tell you this: both companies are listening well. This matchup gave us an opportunity to really digest just how similar and yet vastly different these two Side-by-Sides are.

Can't get my sportsman 700 to shift gears while bike is running. Background, I have replaced both drive and driven clutch assemblies. I have replaced transmission input shaft, (old one bent and aluminum clutch assemblies blew apart while running wide open, sounded like a bomb going off, thank goodness the plastic cove is as tuff as it is). Also installed a new carburetor. I have played with idle RPM anywhere from 800 to 1200. The only way it shifts is when I stop the engine. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hey guys, looking for some idea's as to what could be my issue here. My wife's 2015 Sportsman 570 Sp is burning oil. It is going through about half a quart in 100 miles. I did an oil change and switched to Amsoil just to see how that reacted. Same thing happened. Half quart in 100 miles.

When I did the change there was no metal in the old oil or on the magnet for the drain plug that was visible to me. There has been no dirt ingestion that I can tell either. I keep the air filter clean or changed often. I wiped inside the intake with a paper towel just to check and it came out clean as could be. It does not smoke or smell ever that I have seen, but I hear the synthetic oils wont smell or smoke when being burnt.

I brought the bike home and am planning to tear into it to see what the problem is. I will start tonight by checking to see how the plug looks. I will also try and get a compression test done on it in the next few days.

The quad has 2000 miles on it. I had a valve adjustment done at 1500ish miles. I am not sure if something they did could have caused this or not. What do you guys think? Any ideas for what I should check. Looks like it will be about 600-700 to rebuild the top end. Hate to have to do it, but might be what is on my plate. Thanks in advance for any help.

Took a chance on this one but too much wrong to fix bad crankcase but a lot of other good parts am in southern mn message with needs thanks

Hello, I just picked up a sonic cleaner. Wondering what these bearings are made of so I know which cleaner to use or avoid.

Hello everyone,

First post and currently non can am owner.

My question is: Do I want a max or a regular length outlander xtp?

Read below for background and details.

I got the go ahead from my better half to get us 2 quads so we can start riding together by next April/may 2018. She says she's not into riding 2 up unless I intend to be on the back and that's not in the equation.

Back ground:

She's a novice rider and I use to live on cr250s/raptors and a smaller Polaris 4x4 when I was younger but have spent the last 4 years building vehicles and fully engaged in long range precision shooting. Decided to come back to the atv world so we can do more expedition like riding together since she's not into shooting and wants to be a driver. I'm not building/maintaining 2 off road vehicles!

I've done some research and I'm going to go with a 650 xtp for her and either a 2015 1000 xtp or a 2016 1000/850 xtp for myself.

We are not into the deep deep mud. There will be water crossings. Plenty of steep hills and technical trails interest me the most. I like to think the hills I use to do don't look appealing anymore but I'm not sure I've got all of them out of my system either.

There seems to be way more regular length xtps on the used market compared to the max.

My question is: Do I want a max or a regular length outlander?

Thanks for any and all input,
RR

Basic questions on size and weight. After reading a few threads it sounds safe to increase size by 1" without any mods or rubbing issues. Has anyone experienced a decrease in performance from an increase in size? Or more specifically increase in weight from size or tire style (more plys or radial styles). 5 pounds per tire enough to justify a clutch kit?
